Are you ready for a fun fold card you can make quick & easy? Just like everything I create and share, it’s quick and easy and sometimes it’s just a little fun to fold a card differently than the standard “fold in half” kind– a unique card fold!
For my greeting card today I am using the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch. These items are in the Occasions Catalog and are bundled together so that you can save 10% on them. These items WILL BE carried over to the new catalog, BUT they will not be a “save 10% bundle.” So if you like them, get them while you can get the discount!
Before I go any further, a HUGE THANKS to my customer Pam Z who sent me a gorgeous card using this fold! I loved it and thought it was the perfect “quick & easy” fun fold to share with you.
Fun Fold Card You Can Make Quick & Easy Video

As you saw in the video, this card is a “pocket card.” The one I made in the video (and show below) I used Highland Heather. The other one is with Mint Macaron. You could easily make in any color or with any paper!
Star of the Fun Fold Card:
The real star of this card is the Designer Series Paper (DSP.). There are 6″ x 6″ packs for all of the Stampin’ Up! Color Families! SAD NOTE: All of these paper packs are retiring. So, if you like the polka dots and the stripes, make sure to pick up a pack of each before they are gone! Oh how I wish I had time to make one in every color!!!! (wouldn’t that be so fun to see?)
